Audience aR2p Adept Response Power Conditioner Sweepstakes

Register to win an Audience aR2p Adept Response Power Conditioner (MSRP $695) we are giving away.

According to Audience:

The Audience Adept Response aR2p power conditioner is designed to elevate the performance of your audio system and provide superior power protection. It’s ideal for single-component applications like monoblock amplifiers, receivers, video projectors and video displays and plugs directly into a power outlet with no separate power cord required. The aR2p is hand-built with premium-quality high-current components throughout.

The Adept Response aR2p provides surge suppression up to 20,000 amps. Whereas surge suppression devices like the ubiquitous MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) are “sacrificial” devices and wear out over time, the aR2p surge suppression does not deteriorate. The aR2p employs wide-bandwidth RF filtration – by reducing power line noise interference, the aR2p provides a lower noise floor and blacker background, resulting in a higher-resolution audio/video presentation.

The aR2p does not limit dynamics. Since power must respond quickly and completely to the demands of program material Audience believes it is imperative that power conditioning components present the lowest possible impedance power path while providing wide-bandwidth noise reduction. If desired, a simple high-quality multi-outlet power distribution system plugged into the aR2p can provide power conditioning for an entire audio or video system.

At T.H.E. Show in Las Vegas, I had lunch with John McDonald the president of Audience. He was looking at the half dozen filled tabled as he walked with his lunch and then circled around and set at my table. The food was good especially to hungry walking audiophiles. He asked me about my career, residence, etc. He only mention I make electronics.

A really nice man, he is. Later on, I went into the Audience room and saw him and a designer. He introduced me from lunch. Then later when he stepped out a moment, his designer played a few of my HDtracks {Massimo Salvagnini,Brad Shepik, Thelonious Monk Quartet}, completely. Not the 30 sec. deals that commonly happen. I enjoyed their miniature ' the one' speaker. It filled the darkened room at 7 inches and 25 watts. A couple days later, I took a look at their website and discover Mr. McDonald was the president.

I happily listened to my Audience Au24 RCA cables that I lucked into on a trade, thinking "as good as I will ever hear at home" then compulsion came over me and I ordered up a set of Au24 SE RCA cables, plugged 'em in my rig and realized fully what the saying meant "you don't even know what you don't know". Now I can say with certainty Audience knows what I don't and I want what they make, because it sounds amazing. The Au24 SE RCA's made my Green Mountain Audio Callisto's sing with not only a more detailed level of sound but a thicker-richer wallop of mid-range, mid-bass and more low level bass than I thought possible. Whew, I like!

I must win the drawing for an Audience aR2p Adept Response Power Conditioner.
